DOQR-HANGER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LOUIS EUGENE FOUR- NIER, a subject of the King ofGreat Britain, and resident of 2 Rossmore road, in the city of Boston,State of Massachusetts, United States of America, new and usefulImprovements in Doorllangers; and I do hereby declare that the followingis a full, clear, and exact description of the same. i

The invention relates to improvements in door hangers, as described inthe present specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawingsthat form partofthe 831119.

The invention consists essentially in the novel fashioning of the metal,whereby in a loose journaled trolley wheel, a peculiar form of recess isformed therebelow to adapt tiiat particular type of door hanger to Z-shaped track.

The objects of the invention are to furnish as perfect a door hanger aspossible, particularly for car doors and the like, in which the.doorwill not readily leave the supporting track and if by chance, itshould leave, the loose-wheel will not be lost, to increase theetliciency of the sliding and avoid any binding effects duringoperation, and generally to provide a cheap and durable hanger.

In the drawings Figure l is a perspective 'f pYV showing the inside ofthe hanger. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view. Fig. 3 is an endelevation of the trolley wheel. Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing theouter side of the hanger.

Like numerals of reference indicateicorrespending parts in each figure.

Referring to the drawings 1 is the head of the hanger recessed at 2 fromthe underside, said recess 2 having in the inner wall thereof, theT-shaped recesses L the upper end of which forms the bearing for theloose-wheel The head terminates at each side of the lower end or" theupwardly curved knife shaped ends 5 adapted to engage snow' or ice inthe travel of the door hanger on its track.

6 is the neck joining the headl to the foot ""5, said head, neck, andfoot being integral and formed asone casting. The neck 6 is inwardlycurved at each side thereof, and rounded off at 8 to prevent to sharp orcoarse edges.

have invented certain obstructions due PatentedO'ct. 1,1912. Serial No.674.432.

The foot 7 extends upwardly and terminates at its upper end in the tworetaining lugs 9 and at each side at the upper end in the ears 10, saidears being the full depth of the recess 11 formed between the lugs-9 andthe neck '6 and extending beyond the lugs 9 on each side tinuation ateach end of the bed of the recess 11' and rounded off at 12 in rollerefiect, so as to avoid any binding in the sliding of the cor.

13 is a central recess from the bed of the recess 11, said recess 13furnishing a path for theaxle of the wheel 4 to remove said wheel fromrecess 2, ordinarily this wheel would remainin the recess 2, eventhoughdropping down across the recess 11, but by,

a slight cant when in the recess 13 it may be removed.

i The foot 7 is lightened by the central opening 14 and is strengthenedby the ribs 15 extending centrally from the bottom end,

and upwardly on each side of the said opening 14, joining the ribs 16,whichextend from beneath the ears 10 and up on to the back of the headover the T-shaped recess 3.

17 is a Z-shaped track the tall section of which fits in between thelugs 9 and neck'6,

therefore the door to which of said foot and forming a conthe foot 7 issecurely fastened will be retained in. position on the supporting track17 and while this is not new to have a retainlng piece from door hangerextending up behind the tall section of a Z-shaped track, yet thisparticular manner of accomplishing the retaining efiect has not beenknown before and no loosely journaled wheel has been arranged heretoforein themanner shown as this is an improvement in that particular type ofdoor hanger, which I have been concerned in for a number of years and itis to cure many objections to that class of hanger that this inventionhas been made.

What I claim as my invention is A door hanger, comprising a frame havinghead and foot portions connected b\ a neck portion curved inwardly androunded at each end thereof, the said head portion having a recess fromthe under side and extends ing upwardly in the head, T-shaped slots inthe side walls of said recess, a roller formed with 'trunnions to movein said T-shaped slot, a bed formed in the space between said head andfoot to admit the tra 1k bar, said foot hating lugs extending upwardlyfrom Signed at the city oLMontreal, Quebec, the bed of said space, earsextending later- Canada, this nineteenth day of January, ally from theends of the bed and rounded 1912.
